There it is, plain as day. He literally just admitted to his crimes.

    The big problem is that he still has influence over people that will cause trouble in streets if something happens to him. Not different to that time Mexico had to let go of El Chapo’s son because cartel soldiers started causing trouble to get him back. Any other nobody could have their rights violated left and right and no one would stand up for them. If the government tries to do something and then has an uprising it proves they don’t have a monopoly on violence and that could have other knock on political effects.

    Case in point why solidarity is so powerful and unions are fought tooth and nail. These alt right guys are just too far in to deal with the normal tools of the state.

      Eh I’m not worried about the cosplay weekend warriors. The ones that were on Capital Hill are being punished. If they try anything again they’ll be punished again.
      It’s all talk.

        I mean I don’t want to give them too much credibility, but they can still cause a lot of pain if they wanted too. Especially if they turn to stochastic terrorism.

          If they do, and I’m sure a rare few might, they won’t succeed. Have you ever seen the videos they made before Jan 6th? Half of them had their moms with them, the rest were older idiots that’ve never done anything else in thier lives.

          There won’t be a civil war from these people.
          But they do need to be shut down so there isn’t a next generation wave of them.

      I honestly think the bigger worry is our complete inability to have any control over the police in this country combined with what the average policeman thinks of Trump.
